Later in the morning the senator wanted that coat, but could not find it, and so proceeded to Judge Knapp's office, where he dis covered the missing garment on the broad back of his substantial friend. "What are you doing with my coat?" blandly inquired the senator. "Your coat?" gasped the Judge, twist ing and squirming about to get a full er sight of the straining duster.

Some yeurs ago a young curate, seek ing to be licensed, was bidden by Or Temple, archbishop of Canterbury, to read a few verses of the Bible In order that his fitness for conducting public worship might be judged. "Not loud enough," was the criticism of the bishop when the young man bad finished. "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, my lord," replied the curate. "A lady iu the church jesteiday told me 1 could be heard most plainly all over." "Ah! You are engaged?" suddenly asked Dr. Temple. "Yes, my lord." The bishop smiled grimly and said: "Now, listen to me, young man. While you are engaged don't beliee every thing the lady tells you, but" he add ed, with a deep chuckle, "after you are married believe every word fahe says." Napoleon to Josephine (1797.)

I entreat you to let me see some of your faults; be less beautiful, less gra cious, less affectionate, less good, espe cially be not overanxious, and never weep.

Th Text It Advertising, and th Talk Is on How to Catch and Hold Horn Trade and Build Up th Business and th Burg Together. Mark Twain Is an Inveterate Joker, as most people have discovered, but very often there Is a distinct moral to ono of his Jokes which does not re quire to be labeled; It can be seen with tho naked eye. Many years ago tho now famous humorist was editor of the Enterprise, a newspaper pub lished at Virginia City, Nev. One day he received a letter from a subscriber who appeared to be a bit superstitious. The subscriber explained that he had found In his copy of the Enterprise that week a live spider, and ho wanted to know whether that meant good luck or bad luck. Editor Mark, who was plain Sam Clemens at that period, sat himself down and wrote a brief reply In his "Answers to Correspondents" column. "That spider," ho said, "was merely looking over the columns of tho Enterprise to find out what merchant doesn't advertise In his homo paper. Tho spider wants to go and spin Its web across tho door of that man's place of business, so that it may have n long life of undisturbed serenity." This Is tho ago of advertising. If you doubt it, Just take note oC tho fact that up to a few months ago the circu lation of the leading mall order month lies of the United States aggregated 25.000,000 copies. Why? Tho "litera ture" contained in most of such publi cations Is not of high claBS, and there Is no such enormous demand for that class of Journals merely for reading purposes. Their circulation had been pushed by various methods, in many cases the papers being practically giv en nway to carry tho advertising of big city establishments and smaller catchpenny schemes to the town and country districts. These papers with their enormous circulation were sup ported by advertising. The advertis ing even paid for tho white papor and the expense of mailing. Advertisers paid a stiff rate because they were satisfied of the wide clrculotloa of tha sheets. They knew a good thing whea they saw It, and they were willing to nay for it It Is estimated that slnco tho recent ruling of the postofflco department re gaidlng subscription lists and sample ' copies no less than 18.000,000 of this enormous circulation has been cut off compulsorlly. Many of the Journals with tho biggest circulation have sus pended altogether. The local merchant may congratulate himself upon this fact but there aw many reasons why he should not sit down placidly and expect to get back such patronage as the mall order peo ple have taken nway from him. The , biggest concerns In the cities, which thrlvo on trade from country districts, by mall orders, print gigantic cata logues and distribute them with a gen erous hand. These catalogues carry price lists and pictures and descrip tions of goodB which could not be printed in mall order journals because of the high cost of space and the lack of enough space to accommodate th printed matter. Tho catalogues aro In nowise affected by the postal rulings. Now that the mall order advertising avenues nre fewer than they were thfl catalogue bouses aro sure to lncreaso their output of catalogues. They will buy up the names and addresses of the defunct subscription and sample copy lists and flood the country with cata logues. As remarked, this is an advertising age. The home merchant if he holds , his trade or hopes to increase It, muat be awake and active. Unless be takes measures to keep his business and bis bargains before the eyes of the peo ple dwelling In his trade radius be 'cannot expect prosperity. Tho horns newspaper Is the one medium for dis seminating publicity to the people. Men, women and children In town and country have acquired the habit of reading advertising matter to find what they want. If they do not dis cover In tho home newspaper anv hints as to bargains which may br seen In town with the naked eye, they nre Inclined Jo take their chances on purchasing by mall from the cata logue hints. I i ni It may be taken for granted that most people prefer to spend their mon ey In the homo town If they can get what they want at reasonable rates. They are always on the lookout for bargains. The catalogue people are very well aware of this fact and they act accordingly. To combat mall trade the local merchant must realise this fact and get in line with the spirit of tho age, which means that he must advertise.
